Coaxial LNA: AMF-5F-18002200-17-10P

January 17, 2011

AMF-5F-18002200-17-10P100MITEQ Inc. introduces a new addition, Model AMF-5F-18002200-17-10P, to its family of extremely low noise and ultra small coaxial LNAs in the 18 to 22 GHz band. This LNA has over 40 dB of gain in a housing that is only 8 mm high and 16 mm long without the field-replaceable K-connectors.

Gain flatness is a maximum of ±1.5 dB, though typical is ±0.75 dB. The AMF-5F-18002200-17-10P has a maximum noise figure of 1.7 dB in the full band, and typical is 1.5 dB. It operates from -40 to +75°C, has a P1dB of minimum 10 dBm, IP3 of typically 20 dBm, and a current draw of maximum 180 mA from a single +15V DC supply. Port VSWR is less than 2:1 for both input and output.

Other models with typical gains ranging from 23 to 47 dB are available in two sizes of housings, with smaller one only 12 mm long without the connectors. The aluminum alloy housing provides excellent thermal performance in addition to being very small and light. Hermetic sealing is an option.
